The dispersal process, by which individuals or other dispersing agents such as gametes or
seeds move from birthplace to a new settlement locality, has important consequences for the …

Gene flow via seed and pollen is a primary determinant of genetic and species diversity in
plant communities at different spatial scales. This paper reviews studies of gene flow and …

Accurate estimation of connectivity among populations is fundamental for determining the
drivers of population resilience, genetic diversity, adaptation and speciation. However the …

Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (ie, the distribution of
dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field …

Population genetics theory is primarily based on mathematical models in which spatial
complexity and temporal variability are largely ignored. In contrast, the field of landscape …

This chapter reviews theoretical models and statistical methods for inference from genetic
data in subdivided populations. With few exceptions, these methods are based on neutral …

A central question in evolutionary biology is how gene flow and natural selection shape
geographic patterns of genotypic and phenotypic variation. My overall research program has …

Habitat fragmentation, ie, the reduction of populations into small isolated remnants, is
expected to increase spatial genetic structure (SGS) in plant populations through …

While habitat fragmentation is a central issue in forest conservation studies in the face of
broad‐scale anthropogenic changes to the environment, its effects on contemporary mating …

Abstract poldisp 1.0 is a free software package to estimate the distribution of pollen dispersal
distances from mother–offspring diploid genotypic data. It requires the spatial coordinates …
